Mercury Recovery
Thermostats, Compact Fluorescent Bulbs, Thermometers, Button Batteries, Rechargeable Batteries
The Board of Health has a program for the recycling of elemental mercury. Any resident who wishes to dispose of an item which contains mercury, such as fever thermometers, mercury barometers, blood pressure cuffs, thermostats, mercury switches, etc., may do so by bringing the items to the Board of Health Office during regular working hours. Anyone who brings in a mercury fever thermometer can get a new digital thermometer for no charge.
Fluorescent lamps may be recycled at Aubuchon Hardware
